Klum to be turned into Barbie doll

German supermodel Heidi Klum will be immortalised in plastic as part of Barbie's Blonde Ambition Collection, which celebrates iconic blondes in fashion and entertainment.

According to The Insider, when asked what she wanted her fashion doll to look like said: "You guys just have to hold onto your horses a little while longer and then maybe then you'll know and see!"

The Project Runway presenter, who is pregnant with her fourth child said with a smile: "But if she could talk she would say 'you're out'."

Klum, who was given the keys to Barbie's Malibu Dream House and Car at the iconic doll's 50th Anniversary celebrations recently, is not the first celebrity to have her own doll.

Earlier this year, a plastic action figure was created based on Sienna Miller's character Baroness in 'G.I Joe: Rise of the Cobra'.

The actress, who played Dylan Thomas' wife, Caitlin, in 'The Edge Of Love', said: "I don't think anyone, anywhere would be playing with them if they were for 'The Edge of Love' but 'G.I Joe' is a whole new experience.

"I'm not sure if I'm going to be playing with my own doll - but I'm going to have happy nieces and nephews, I'm sure."
